Harry Nilsson performing on a tv show in 1969....Harry Edward Nilsson III (June 15, 1941 -- January 15, 1994), who sometimes went by the stage name Nilsson, was an American songwriter who achieved the peak of his commercial success as a singer in the mid 1970s. On all but his earliest recordings, he is credited as 'Nilsson' and is known for the hit singles "Without You", "I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City", "Everybody's Talkin'," "Coconut" and "Jump into the Fire". Nilsson's songs 'One' and 'Cuddly Toy' have been covered by artists including the Monkees, Three Dog Night and Aimee Mann. He was awarded Grammy Awards for two of his recordings.Nilsson was born in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, New York, in 1941. His paternal grandparents were Swedish circus performers and dancers, especially known for their "aerial ballet" (which is the title of one of Nilsson's albums). His father, Harry Edward Nilsson, Jr., abandoned the family three years later. An autobiographical reference to this is found in the opening to Nilsson's song "1941":

Well, in 1941, the happy father had a son

And in 1944, the father walked right out the door.

Nilsson suffered a massive heart attack in 1993. After surviving that, he began pressing his old label, RCA, to release a boxed-set retrospective of his career, and resumed recording, attempting to complete one final album. He finished the vocal tracks for the album on January 15, 1994, with producer Mark Hudson who still holds the tapes of that session, and then died that night of heart failure in Agoura Hills, California. The following year, the 2-CD anthology he worked on with RCA, Personal Best, was released.

The show was "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir". I remember watching this episode and being completely mesmerized by this singer... It wasn't for about another three years that I connected the performance with the artist Harry Nilsson and I have been a fan ever since.

It's a clip from "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir." He's the ghost, unseen by everyone but Mrs. Muir.

@floatingdon When he was young? What do you mean? The man had a great voice throughout his entire career.

I prefer the acoustic version of this song. I suppose it's a matter of opinion, or what you heard first, but there's something so haunting about him and the guitar that just gets me every time. This is my favorite version, despite the show's interruptions.

Wow. This makes me sad that I never watched The Ghost and Mrs Muir when I was growing up. Harry Nilsson had a gorgeous voice when he was young.
